Origen: discussing prayer

Tuesday, March 1, 2016
    Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601
Meditation:
    And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
    —Romans 8:27 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The discussion of prayer is so great a task that it requires the Father to reveal it, His Firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.
    ... Origen (185?-254?), Origen, book 4, Rowan A. Greer, tr., Paulist Press, 1979, p. 86 (see the book)
    See also Rom. 8:26-27; Luke 11:1-4; John 14:12-13, 26
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant me the mind of Christ so that I might please you in prayer. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
